Tips for Beginners

"Chip" away at your scores

Golf tip Chipping

PRE-SHOT *EVALUATE your lie - sitting up/down - grain - ball above/below your feet - heavy/light grass -*Select a club according to how high and how far you need to carry the ball. - figuring out how much the ball will roll once it hits the green (40% in the air & 60% rolling on the green) - Use your imagination when selecting a club to use. Don’t just grab your “chipping club”

SET-UP *Grip down for control*Feet close together*Feet & Hips aim a little left*70% of weight on left foot (right handers)*Hands lean towards target*Ball belongs generally back in the stance (right handers)

EXECUTION *Let the club-head start your swing*Let your hands hinge on the backswing & keep that hinge to your finish*Let your upper body move the club back and through (lower body stays passive)
